Patch road map ?

It's ready when it's ready was not a so good answer.

The obvious plan for COD is fix the stability/performance issues. There is no point in fixing game play issues , or releasing a Sequel, until people can play the sim without crashing.

So what are the developers doing? Well they are building beta patches to fix the Stability/Performance issues, with a few gameplay fixes thrown in.

The next obvious plan would be to fix the game play issues. There is no point in releasing a Sequel unless the game play issues are fixed. We should see a few more beta patches concentrating on gameplay fixes with a few optimizations thrown in.

At some point, if these patches fix the performance and a number of gameplay issues the devs/publishers may feel comfortable enough that their customers might actually buy the Sequel. Its possible if they are under considerable financial duress, they could release the Sequel before all the gameplay issues are fixed. Then continue to fix the gameplay issues with patches as they continue to develop the rest of the series.

Its impossible to give a date, it will "always" be a "ready when its ready" situation. The good news is COD will always evolve with new features as you merge each Sequel, or add mod content. That said the development could shut down tomorrow. The developers are probably on pins and needles half expecting a pink slip any day.

I do not agree, we have to know what's happennig, that's where it should have been no more than 2 weeks after release, if it ever should have been released with those kind of issues we see now, thanks to internet patching is so easy.

Not sure what you mean by "internet patching is so easy", but I doubt the developer/publisher would want to garner so much bad publicity by releasing an unfinished sim unless there were no other choice. Anyway the plan was to build a series of sequels which appears to be still the case with the constant release of the Sequels screenshots. An MMO is of little consequence as it can easily be developed from the work done on the game engine and content provided by COD and its Sequels. COD and the game engine were released unfinished and are still unfinished, so its impossible to give a definitive answer to anything until they know exactly what the game engine is capable of providing. The June statement was probably delayed because the game engine is still not fixed and in flux. I doubt they know at this time whether or not the development will continue, and it hinges on the success of the stability/performance patch and the capabilities of the game engine. You will have to wait for any definitive plan which should be clearer after the success or failure of the official patch. The future is looking slightly brighter with the largely positive comments from the community on the latest beta patch.
